Fedora Core 1 has been out now for a few days now and many faithful Linux fans have already installed it. Red Hat's Linux is still one of my favorite distributions because of one main reason: compatibility with Linux software. Red Hat is a market leader and following the market leader assures the least trouble for most users. But is this the case with Fedora Core?

I like Fedora, it does a great job with integrating rpm with apt/yum, gnome with kde, and commercial with community. It is perfect for development: it has the latest stuff, and is nice, easy and fun to use. now I use it in stead of Debian-unstable. I only hope that the apt/yum repositories will get some apps soon, I am getting tired of having to search for the tarballs. Anyway, this is the first redhat-based distribution I like since 5.1!
